Literature & Film Programs, inHarlem, Adult Programs

Architect and professor Mario Gooden will guide participants through images of commonplace forms and symbols in an engaging presentation of Dark Space: Architecture, Representation, Black Identity—a collection of essays that move between history, theory, and criticism to interrogate the construction and translation of African-American identity through the medium of architecture. Presented as part of inHarlem, and in partnership with the New York Public Library's George Bruce Library branch, the reading and subsequent conversation will engage previous NYPL initiatives, like the Build a Better World Summer Reading Challenge, to examine the creation of conceptual and physical black spaces.
